KATHMANDU, NEPAL

Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal, and has a population of approximately 1,000,000 people. Many of those are local migrants, as Kathmandu is the centre of the local economy with education, government offices and the best work opportunites being located there. It stands about 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) above sea-level.

As the central hub for entry into Nepal, tourist facilities are well catered for such as money exchange, hotels and restaurants. Make sure you get what you need, as you may not find such facilities in other parts of remote Nepal. Kathmandu is famous for lokta paper, pashmina shawls, woollen carpets and garments.

With both Hinduism and Buddhism being the major religions, their religious festivals rival many in variety and colour. For religious places, check out for example Swayambhunath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple and the Kopan Monastery. Or if you looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu Durbar Square, try the Garden of Dreams.

Note Kathmandu suffered a devastating earthquake with a 7.8 magnitude on 25 April 2015, which caused a lot of destruction to the buildings of historical interest.
